Thanks very much for your wishes concerning my Mom I hope this surgery finally gets rid of her Cancer. Enjoy the visit with your folks My Mom's illness has again reminded me that they are with us for a short time. Even if they do stress us out quite a bit without trying
Thanks for the updated Tab as well! Can you shoot me the GPX file also and I"ll add it to the notes. This will all go in the permanent WIKI record with the rest of this series and be enshrined in perpetuity @ http://bit.ly/twtgmc Todd Was a very good chat yesterday, Todd. Hope your mother is alright. No promises I'll be on tonight though, as my parents are coming by, and even though they will have gone home by then, question is how stressed I will be after! As said I made a mistake in the tab. Can I just correct it and send it again? |

The good new is this VERY VERY SIMPLE to play and sounds like your playing way more than it actually happening. EXAMPLE A: The intro lick uses a type of AP we have not worked with very much. I"m using three notes per string but stricking TWICE on the last note only. This yields FOUR PICK STRIKES per string and makes it sound much more busy than it is. This technique is one of the SECRET SAUCE techniques that I keep in my bag of tricks. 220a.gp5 ( 1.54K ) Number of downloads: 103 220b.gp5 ( 1.57K ) Number of downloads: 102 220c.gp5 ( 1.61K ) Number of downloads: 93 220d.gp5 ( 1.71K ) Number of downloads: 97 220e.gp5 ( 1.72K ) Number of downloads: 95 220f.gp5 ( 1.73K ) Number of downloads: 88 220g.gp5 ( 1.96K ) Number of downloads: 88 HERE IS THE FULL VIDEO CHAT http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/39559220 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Oct 6 2013, 12:03 AM |

This simply means using finger positions based on a chordal approach where we will park our first finger on a given fret and fret several strings at once then use the other fingers to dance around it. I've borrowed this technique directly from MARK KNOPFLER of Dire Straits and just done it a bit more METAL Here is a gal playing this type of thing at :49 http://youtu.be/PscHfn4vGqI?t=49s BENS EXAMPLE FROM THE SWORD COLLAB This example from Ben is the Melody Line in the last bit of the Collab and makes use of the technique we are talking about here so it's a great place to start!
